🗞️ #NewsReport #India is boosting earthquake preparedness - extending warning lead times from seconds to 45s with 1,200 new seismometers to protect lives & critical infrastructure. 🔹 Dr. Krishna Vatsa, @ndmaindia: “The expansion will enable scientists to detect smaller tremors and better map seismic zones.” 🔹 @AmitProthi, @cdri_world: “These systems save lives and protect critical infrastructure by issuing timely alerts for preventive actions.” 👉 With 59% of India quake-prone, this marks a leap in #DisasterRiskReduction & #resilientinfrastructure. 📰 Story in @livemint by @vijaycroy (livemint.com/news/india-ear…) 👇

At #RESSUMMIT2026, @cdri_world hosted the session “Emerging Opportunities and Innovations for Reducing Loss and Damage”, where the panel emphasized on: ▫️ Risk assessment for informed decision-making ▫️ Integrating local knowledge with infrastructure planning ▫️ Risk financing with focus on implementation ▫️ #Resilience through data, capacity building & best practices #resilientinfrastructure

Pleased to welcome @ifrc delegation led by @ivanamnikolic, Director of Strategic Partnerships and Resource Mobilization, and @JohnMEntwistle, Head of Country Cluster Delegation, to @cdri_world HQ. Discussion centered around risk-informed planning, early warning systems, and role of partnerships & advocacy in strengthening climate and disaster #resilientinfrastructure.

A #Norway - @UNOPS joint project in #Nepal rebuilt 24 earthquake #resilient schools with 144 classrooms, solar systems, rainwater harvesting & slope stabilization. 🌱🏫 Benefiting 5,280 students, the project emphasized gender & disability inclusion, community training & sustainable maintenance, and set a model for disaster #resilientinfrastructure. 🔽 Discover this project in @cdri_world's #G20 Compendium: cdri.world/a-compendium-o… @NorwayinNepal @MoEST_Nepal @NRANepal

⚡️ A field mission conducted under @cdri_world funded Energy Resilience Project in #Vanuatu assessed solar mini-grids, applying nature-based solutions to boost #resilience against 🌀🌊. Here's a #ProjectUpdate from @UNDP_Pacific ▶️ linkedin.com/posts/undp-pac… #resilientinfrastructure

🤝 Pleased to welcome @GauravRayRC, @unbhutan Resident Coordinator, and team to @cdri_world HQ. Discussions highlighted the Coalition's ongoing support to #Bhutan in strengthening disaster #resilientinfrastructure.

It is 11 years since the adoption of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030, outlining 7 targets & 4 priorities for action to prevent new & reduce existing disaster risks. It is setting a course for a safer, more #resilient world▶️undrr.org/publication/se… @cdri_world remains committed to strengthening climate and disaster #resilientinfrastructure & supporting the #SendaiFramework’s global targets through its programmes, global partnerships, capacity building and knowledge exchange. @UN @UNDRR

👥 The first South Asia Regional Workshop on Mountain Road Resilience brought together 60+ experts from across Asia & the Pacific to strengthen mountain transport networks. Hosted by @cdri_world, @WorldBankGroup, @MORTHIndia & HPRIDCL, the workshop called for collaborative, scalable solutions to climate disruptions. 🔑 Key insights: - Align planning, engineering & emergency response - Use robust asset data & slope inventories to prevent closures - Knowledge-sharing drives #resilientinfrastructure in South Asia 🌄 A field visit showcased real-world challenges & hybrid solutions. 🎥 Watch the video from World Bank

Resilience Bonds could be a game‑changer for adaptation finance.📈 These bonds are a new way to finance projects that reduce disaster risk & strengthen climate resilience. 🏗️ Learn more in UNDRR's Disaster Risk Reduction Financing Training Modules ➡️ undrr.org/our-work/train…

At the 17th #WWSRDC in #Chambéry, @cdri_world shared insights on bridging road resilience needs with financing in #LMICs: 🛣️ Bankable pipelines → investment‑ready programmes 🛣️ Embedding #resilience in planning & asset management 🛣️ Climate modelling & vulnerability assessments 🛣️ Stronger institutions, skills & partnerships for #resilientinfrastructure 📢 Pleased to join @PIARC_Roads TC 1.4 on Planning the Resilience of Road Networks - advancing #resilient network planning & design.
